Top pick: #2 (CUSTER) - Makes his first start back in Florida after a strong try at the Meadowlwnds last out. He's been sharp ever since coming to the barn of Eddie Plesa and has been a consistent performer all year. Working well since coming here and he's the choice for the win.
2nd pick: #9 (Georgian) - Hard-hitter has been first or second in nine of his last 10 starts and has a fast work on November 30, in preparation for this attempt.
3rd pick: #1 (Burns up the Track) - Comes back off a layoff and will race on real dirt and with a reduction in class. Has the rail and the easier opposition makes him a contender.
